Recent research has suggested that in order to be a great football player you need the strength, mental toughness, and the athletic ability. In order to be a great baseball player you need dedication, love for the game, and a consistent work effort. Bo Jackson had all of these attributes which made him able to play both sports professionally. For Example, Bob Nightengale has written that “Jackson redefined the modern athlete and is the only person to be an All-Star in professional baseball and an all-pro in football” (USA Today). But while this has research is proven, opportunities remain to try to claim that Bo wasn’t a dedicated athlete but just an incredibly blessed specimen that used his god given talents out on both fields.
